SADDLE THE RIGHT HORSE,

SADDLE THE RIGHT HORSE,
No sensible republican will hold the
democratic party responsible for the 10
sane fanaticism which led two or three
old confederate soldiers to haul down
the flag Of the nation from pike staff
and trample 1t under foot. Ii is the fact,
undisputed and undisputable, that the
flag Of the confederscy against the ma
tion was made supreme above the flag
Of the nation; that the principles OF ma
tionsl unity were declared secondary to
principles which organized secession
and gave birth to the cOnfederacy
against the nation; thSt the MARTYR
PRESIDENT OF the nation, was de-
graded to mere follower in the ranks
Of that triumphal procession OF the fu-
ture, in which all honOrs were to be paid
the rebel chief who had organized
armed rebellion against the authority of
the nation-it was these things, given
expression to by the orators and respOn-
sible heads Of that Macon celebration,
which have stirred the feeling Of loyal
men Of all parties to sn intenser hatred
Of secession than has been felt for two
decades. II reaction against the amlty
long since shown by the north toward
the south should set it, as the tides set
against the shores, and rising over
whelm this democracy by srraying
the entire north against all that stands
for the late confederacy-lf this shou q
follow, the democracy OF this country
can point to the demlurge of this whole
damnable attempt to unsettle the touo-
dations OF national authority aud
remove the pillars of nation
al government, and say, thou
art the man. What innumeraDlc
blessings would have followed had
Ariel gathered the pessimistic soul OF
the confederate president in his arms,
when he took away the spirit OF the
great general of that cOnfederscy, ard
left behind the great hearted Robert
Lee to sweeten the waters OF strife and
lead the steps Of the Southern people In
paths of loyal patriotic devotion to the
nation which had approved itself so
much greater than the confederacy.

is credibly informed, who make good
wages by giving this information, and
one Of them Is an officer Of the city gov
eminent. The law, instead Of being a
terror to evil doors, is made the instru-
ment OF drawing from the pockets Of
poor unfortunate women, and men who
believe that they have a right to bet
their own money II they choose, the
sum OF over $1,000 every year for the
support OF these informers, who are in
tnitely more desplOsble than those
against whom they lodge complaint for
pay.
II these successive fines and cOnVlo-
tiOns did any good, If they lessened in any
way the evils Of these sporting houses,
it might be endured. But they do not.
Every dollar taken in this way, by the
informant and by the state, is in reality
a license imposed upon these houses. or
this money, the city is deprived Of from
$1,000 to 81 200 every year by this in
famous system OF espionage, and the
levy not being laid as license but as fine
for infractiOn OF law, the city govern
ment cannot take cognizsnce OF their
existence for any purpose OF regulation.
All the evils OF their presence are en-
tailed, no mode Of supervision is per-
missible because they have no legallzed
existence, and the situation Is only
seized upon by the INSCRIPTIONS to
wiring money from them. The natural
remedy for all this is to license
these sporting houses, oOntine their
presence to certain specified quarters OF
the city, put them under police and san
itsry regulations and reduce the evil
arising from their presence 10 q mini
mum. 1t Is the business Of the govern
ment to provide the best possible pro-
lection to its citizens, and it Is a foolish
perversiOn OF idea that does not recOg-
nizS the facts in any given case and deal
with them practically.

OUR DAILY BREAD.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit has
vast influence through the digestive or
gans upon the measure of health we en-
JOY. How important to our present hap
piness and future usefulness the blessing
OF good health and q sound constitution
are, we can only realize when we have
lost them, and when IL is too late to re-
pair the damage. Notwithstanding
these facts, thousands OF persons daily
jeopardize not only their health, but
their lives, and the health and lives OF
others, by using articles 10 the prepare
ton Of their food, the purity and health
fitness OF which they know nothing.
Perhaps few cents may have
been saved, or IL may have
been more convenient to obtain the srtl-
cles used, and the hOusekeeper takes the
responsibility and possibly will never
know the mischief that has been
wrought. Pateriamilias may have spells
of headache, the children may have lost
their appetites, or look pale; II SO, the
true cause Is rarely suspected. The
weather, the lack Of outdoor air, or
some other cause, is given, and the I'M
wholesome, poisonous system OF adul-
terated food goes on. Next to the flour,
which should be made OF good, sound
wheat and not ground too fine, the
yeast or baking powder, which furnishes
the rising properties, is Of the greatest
importance, and of the two we prefer
baking powder, and always use the
Royal, as we thereby retain the original
properties of the wheat, no fermentation
taking place. The action of the Royal
Baking Powder upon the dough is simp-
ly to swell it and form little cells
through every part. These cells are
filed with csrbOnic acid gas, which
passes of during the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape
aOId, and it is the action of this acid up
on highly carbOniZed biosrbonste OF
soda that generates the gas alluded to;
and these ingredients are so pure and
so perfectly fitted, tested and adapted
to each other, that the action is mild
and permanent, and Is continued during
the whole time OF baking, and no resi-
due of poisonous ingredients remains to
undermine the health. no heavy biscuits,
no sour bread, but if directions are fol-
lowed, every article will be found sweet
and wholesome.

THE WAGES OF SIN.

The statutes Of this state make gamb-
ling q crime. This criminality attaches
to the man who keeps a gambling house
and to the man who plays games there
in. The statutes Of this state make it
crime to keep a house OF pros
titution, and this criminsliry attaches
to all inmates Of the house. As 10 the
case Of gambling, the keeping of the
house lie one act contrary to law. the
being an inmate is another act contrary
to law. When compl sints are laid be-
fore the grand jury against these sport
ing houses Of both kinds, these com
plants upon which Indictments are
sought and found lie against the keep
ers Of these houses and each individual
therein. These complaints are secret
No one Ia supposed to know who makes
them. The information lie positively
sworn to, the indictment is found and
the cases come into court. In nineteen
cases out Of every twenty there is no
trial, and the indicted plead guilty, be-

while 1t is supposed to be in secret, it ia
well known to all who desire to acquaint
themselves with it. Fines in the cases
OF the women Of uneasy virtue, fines and
imprisonment In the cases Of the gamb-
lers are levied and the cases are dis
posed OF so far as the public is con-
cerned.
This is merely the outside view. The
inside view is this. These complaints
are generally made before the grand jury
by men void OF honor, honesty or con-
sistenoy, and made for purpose Of gain.
Taking advantage of the well known
fact that these cases generally plead
guilty and witnesses are not summoned,
these despicable semblances Of men,
after frequenting these sporting houses
as visitors, turn informers for pay,
under the statute which allows the in
former the sum OF one dollar and fifty
cents for every conviction. There are two

Meeting The Billiards.

The time when we should prepare for
the winter is at hand and naturally
everyone looks around to see how he can
expend his money 10 the best advantage,
and If he takes the trouble to enquire, he
soon finds that WolfsOn's is the place,
because, in the first place, there is a
large stock of all kinds of winter goods
to select from, and in the second place,
quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has a large assortment
of blankets. white. cOlOred or California,
which are offered for sale at from $l.l5
20 $40 per pair, and are in every case
good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding of all kinds that you
will find cheap and comfortable during
the winter months. However, satisfy
yourself by calling at the store, and ex-
anime the goods. Then you will find as
others have done, that you get good bar
gains at Wolfson's.
